Lessons That Last
Ropes, Risks, and Inappropriate Field Trips
How do we encourage students to do brave things? How do we help them grow in confidence? In this episode, Julie and Laura talk about the power of creating a safe space for students to take the risks that lead to growth. Felix's story about Mrs. Noel is the focus of the episode, and it's a beautiful reminder of the power of modeling risk taking. Teaching and learning are both risky business. If you've been thinking about the brave acts that lead to growth, this episode is for you! And, who was chaperoning Laura on those middle school field trips?
You can find Felix's story (and all the stories we share on the pod) in the Lessons That Last book, It's available at your favorite bookseller. Check it out on Amazon here: https://bit.ly/3OiZr38
